Privacy policy related to the processing of personal data and the use of cookies
Welcome to Entaleq.
Intro: Entaleq is a mobile application and website that offers a database that is user generated of accessible locations. Entaleq provides users with a database of locations that they can visit and review with regards to accessibility metrics for people with disabilities. This allows other users to see these reviews, screen which locations they plan to visit, and add their own reviews of the places they visit to expand the database. Rather than leaving accessibility reviews to specialists, Entaleq allows any member of the public to use the tool to review the accessibility of the places.
Entaleq also gives people with disabilities guidance on various livelihood matters like how to get a disability certificate, how to get a driver’s license, how to make a vehicle accessible, etc..
